    SCHMrrZ AND ZUMPT-S CLASSICAL SERIES—Continued. From the Rev. L. Van Bokkelen, Principal of St. Timothy's Hall, Md., Feb. 18,1852. Since you commenced the series I have invariable adopted ihe different worksin pre- ference to all others, and I now use them all, with the exception of C&. Curtius. From W. F. Wyers, New London Academy, Feb. 14,1852. I have used no other editions but yours since they made their first appearance, and shall certainly continue to do so. Among the various editions of the Latin Classics, Schmitz and Zumpt's series, so far as >et published, are at all times preferred, and students are requested to procure no other.— Announcement of Bethany College, Va. Uniform with SCHMITZ AND ZUMPT'S CLASSICAL SERIES—(Now Ready.) THE CLASSICAL MANUAL; AN EPITOME OP ANCIENT GEOGRAPHY, GREEK AND ROMAN MYTHOLOGY, ANTIQUITIES, AND CHRONOLOGY. CHIEFLY INTENDED FOR THE USE OF SCHOOLS. BY JAMES S. S. BAIRD, T. C. D„ Assistant Classical Master, King's School, Gloucester. In one neat volume, royal ISmo., extra cloth, price Fifty cents. This little volume has been prepared to meet the recognized want of an Epi- tome which, within the compass of a single small volume, should contain the information requisite to elucidate the Greek and Roman authors most com- monly read in our schools. The aim of the author has been to embody in it such details as are important or necessary for the junior student, in a form and space capable of rendering them easily mastered and retained, and he has con- sequently not incumbered it with a mass of learning which, though highly valuable to the advanced student, is merely perplexing to the beginner. In the amount of information presented, and the manner in which it is conveyed, as well as its convenient size and exceedingly low price, it is therefore admirably adapted for the younger classes of our numerous classical schools. From Mr. B. F. Stem, Fredericksburg, Va., July 30,1652. The Classical Manual I have perused with delight, and shall at once introduce in my school. It is a book that has long been needed, and I know of none where so much varied matter can be found in so small a space. From Mr. C. Hammond, Monsan, Mass., Aug. 6,1852. I shall introduce it into my school at once. It is just what we have needed for a long, long time. From Prof. Trimble, Kenyon College, O., Aug. 30,1852. It must recommend itself to the teachers in all the classical institutions within the Union, not only on account of its cheapness, but also for its excellent arrangement; and it will be a sine qua non compendious class-book for every student wishing to enter our colleges. From Mr. J. H. Nourse, Washington, Aug. 17,1852. I shall require every classical student to possess a copy of Baird's Manual. From Mr. W. W. Clarke, Gouverneur Wes. Sem., N. Y., Aug. 17,1852. I admire it very much for the large amount of classical information so concisely and clearly set forth. It is just the thing for students in their early studies, and has long been a desideratum. From Mr. W. S. Bogart, Tallahassee, FL, Aug. 7, ie52. It contains a vast amount of geographical and classical information in a most concise compass, which adapts it equally to the pupil and the advanced student who wishes to review his classical knowledge.
